Pakistan: Cracking HIV/AIDS in Lahore Brothels

A recent survey of the red light district of Lahore, Pakistan,
indicates that a large majority of the younger women in the
brothels have a high level of awareness of HIV/AIDS and safe sex
practices, thanks to peer counselors. The study, commissioned by
the non-governmental AIDS Awareness Group UNAIDS-Pakistan,
reports that 93 percent of commercial sex workers were able to
identify AIDS correctly. Most of the commercial sex workers are
taking preventative measures such as safe sex.
